Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 49: What is now and what was yesterday is different between waiting and seeing

"You, the Chen family, really stole the show this time."

In the crowd, you can still vaguely hear the compliments of everyone. They all gathered around Chen Bian. Each of their words made Chen Bian smile with joy. Chen Jue and Chen Wu behind him also had smiles on their faces, as did Yourong. Yan.

"Is the Chen family really about to turn over?" Looking at this scene, Liu Miao frowned, but she felt a little helpless. Thinking of her grandfather's warning just now, she felt even more headache, "If the Chen family still declines, that year The property of hundreds of taels of silver can change hands."

"Brother, don't think so much," Liu Gang reminded from the side, "The Chen family is still of the Pengcheng lineage, and the other branch of their family will not just sit back and watch this one decline."

"Alas, you don't understand. In the past two years, there have been constant disasters, and several big families have lost their luster on the surface..." Liu Miao shook her head, and happened to see the Peng family brothers and Wang family sisters, and walked over.

"Let's first listen to what the Peng brothers have to say."

"You two are here, let's go in and say something first. We have already met Mr. Zhang and have been scolded. It's your turn. We are waiting here." After meeting the Liu brothers, Peng Lin grinned and pointed. Pointing inside, "If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when you come out."

The Liu brothers gave a wry smile, cupped their hands, and walked in.

"They are really back. I saw Mr. Liu's dark face just now, and I thought the three families were going to break off diplomatic relations." The Wang family girl looked at the Liu family brothers and said in a low voice.

Peng Lin smiled and said: "Family friendships are not based on personal likes and dislikes. Even if the elders really don't have contact with each other, the families will still be the same as before. The family is not one and the same. Of course, how about the elders? , we have to move around each other within a few days, which is common for me."

"Not based on personal preference?" The Wang family girl became curious after hearing this, "Then why were you so disgusted with the Chen family before? Whether it was Chen Yun or later Chen Zhi, you seemed to despise it. How could you still be interested in the banquet? Make it impossible for the second master of the Chen family to come to Taiwan."

"This..." Peng Lin looked slightly embarrassed and then said, "I am doing this for the family. The Chen family used to be powerful, but now it is declining and out of business. It has occupied a lot of industry and land. Now there are floods and another It’s a drought, we must increase revenue and reduce expenditure, so..."

"So you have the idea of ​​​​the Chen family?" The Wang family girl understood, "What now? You said that Chen Zhi of the Chen family is very ridiculous, but after hearing what Zhu Laoyi said and seeing his words, this person clearly has great power. He is talented, but he is not public about it. With such a person sitting in charge, even if the Chen family is weak, it will rise again in the future. Why do you still want to take advantage of this family? "

"This..." The smile on Peng Lin's face disappeared and he frowned.

"I think we need to think carefully about how to deal with this Chen Zhi." Peng Qi, who was silent, spoke at this time, "The original idea is difficult to achieve, so we have to change it due to events, otherwise wouldn't it be Not even as good as people from these small tribes?" He pointed at the people who were fawning around Chen Bian and meant something.

Peng Lin frowned even more tightly, seeming to be unwilling to give up: "But good calligraphy does not mean that you have the ability to support a family. It does not mean that there are people who are outstanding in calligraphy and painting but are poor."

"There is another family behind Chen Zhi. They are not in ruins. You can't judge by guessing, brother." Peng Qi shook his head. Seeing that Peng Lin still wanted to argue, he waved his hand, "We will wait until the Liu brothers come out. "After he finished speaking, he glanced at the Wang girl calmly, thoughtfully.

Soon, the Liu brothers walked out of the hall with shameful expressions. They were sweating profusely and looked embarrassed, as if they had experienced a big battle.

"Doesn't it feel good?" Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Peng Lin laughed again, "You guys are pretty good, but my grandfather took that picture and left, and our brothers were even worse, after all, didn't Mr. Liu also fail to fulfill his wish? , and Zhang Gong must have the same hatred and hatred."

Liu Miao smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing: "This matter is so troublesome, I really don't know what to say. Chen Zhi will also make trouble. In my opinion, he is not much different from the past. It's just that he used to be among the people." It's causing unrest, and now it's going to cause trouble in the gentry circle."

"How to deal with it?" Peng Lin stopped his smile and asked seriously. As the leaders of the younger generation of nobles in Pengcheng, they naturally had to deal with the sudden rise of Chen Zhi.

"What do you think? Are you planning to reduce his reputation in the next few days?" Liu Miao asked tentatively without expressing his position.

"No, my idea is not to disturb him recently," Peng Lin pondered for a moment and gave the answer, "Let him study peacefully. Since he is studying behind closed doors, he must have something in mind, perhaps with a sword to filter. Now We will go to him to cause trouble and make him unstable. If he fails to pass the screening, we may have an excuse. If we don’t disturb him, and he has obtained so many legalist books and legal texts, he can speak openly and openly with us and others with knowledge. The score is high.”

"Learning?" Liu Miao tasted something, "Have you given up on calligraphy?"

"It's not shameful to lose to that kind of calligraphy," Peng Lin let out a long sigh of relief, "but if Chen Zhi wants to blend in with us, he has to show his true ability, otherwise, with his calligraphy accomplishments, I will respect him, But that’s about it.”

"It's easy for you," Liu Miao smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that our old man forced us to make friends with Chen Zhi. It's really a headache. We can only wait until we are screened and know his depth before trying to get in touch with him. Let’s wait and see for now.”

The young heroes of the two families had made up their mind in a few words, and they left Zhang Mansion while talking.

Outside the door, there was an old servant waiting. When he saw a few people, he came over to salute first, then came to the Wang family girl and called her "Miss."

"It's getting late, brothers, I'm going back first." The Wang family girl saluted like a young master, then said goodbye and left.

Looking at her retreating back, Peng Qi suddenly said: "Is this girl really a member of the Langya Wang family?"

"It's confirmed," Peng Lin laughed, "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I know it in my heart. Anyway, I'll just reveal it a little bit so that you can know that this woman is related to the bookworm of the Wang family." "That one. The bookworm has arrived in Pengcheng?" Liu Gang was a little surprised.

"It's time to come, I'll pay you a visit in a few days." Peng Lin said, taking his brothers to say goodbye to the Liu family, and the group went their separate ways.

At this point, the Zhang family banquet has officially come to an end, but the impact of this dinner has only just begun to appear.

........................

The next day.

"Master Zhi, morning."

"Master Zhi, you are not in the store today."

"The young master is here to study today, too. He is really hardworking. No wonder, no wonder, no wonder."

Early in the morning, Chen Zhi arrived at the Chen Mansion, ready to continue his studies - the Legalist works he collected yesterday were too precious, and Chen Chi did not agree with him taking them back to Shulinzhai. In order to prevent theft, he still had to come if he wanted to study. Chen Mansion.

But when he walked in today, the atmosphere was completely different. When the concierge saw him, he had an even more flattering expression on his face. When he bent down to salute, his forehead almost touched his knees.The servants and maids who used to avoid him in fear of him, as soon as they saw Chen Zhi, they hurriedly said hello, and their mouths felt as if they were covered with honey. They kept saying good things and flattering him in different ways.

"The effect of the Zhang's dinner party is really good. This way, I won't have to play house fights in the Chen's house. Once the hidden dangers are removed, I won't have anything to worry about." Chen Zhi nodded his head all the way in response, but he knew the reason very well in his heart.

As soon as Chen Wu came back yesterday, he was extremely respectful to him. He told him what he had seen that night, so that Chen Zhi knew the cause and effect, so he would not be surprised by the situation in front of him.

"Human feelings are warm and cold, and power ebbs and flows."

On the other hand, the scale of the lottery tube in my heart has increased by more than half, and it is still climbing slowly, with no signs of stopping. I believe that it will be full again soon.

Just as he was thinking, someone rushed over in front of him and took a closer look, who else could it be if it wasn't Chen Jue?

"Young Master Zhi, you are finally here." Chen Jue nodded and bowed, with a flattering look on his face, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. The eldest master and the second master are waiting for you. Let me stay here and let you know as soon as you come. you."

"Okay, I understand," Chen Zhi nodded and added, "Tell Chen Wu someone to save him from wasting his time in the library."

The Shulin Zhai is narrow, so the book boy lives in the mansion and spends his time in the study pavilion early every day. This is why Chen Zhi said so.

"I have informed him in advance." Chen Jue said and praised, "Master Zhi, you are so considerate of our servants, you are really a kind Lord." His words were half true and half false, but he did envy Chen Wu.

It stands to reason that Chen Jue had already noticed that Chen Zhi was extraordinary, and even wanted to get close to him at one time. However, because he was not optimistic about writing letters on his behalf, he believed that Chen Zhi was absurd in nature and wanted to wait and see. As a result, he was now not as close as a little book boy to Chen Zhi. In addition, he was not as close as a little book boy. Yesterday's incident in the Zhang Mansion was so glorious at the time, but when I came back and recalled the past, it felt as if I had suddenly fallen from the clouds into dust. I really felt regretful in my intestines.

“It’s really killing people to wait and see!”

That night, Chen Juejue didn't sleep, thinking that no matter what method he used, he would be able to be by Chen Zhi's side as an errand. It would be even better if he could become a confidant. Unfortunately, time has changed, and now he is not the only one looking at Chen Zhi's position. Chen Jue alone?
"Fortunately, Master Zhi still remembers my past in his heart. This is an advantage. We must seize this advantage and get close to him as much as possible. Don't give others the chance!"

Just now, he, Chen Jue, relied on Chen Zhi's roll call yesterday and used it as an excuse to get the job of coming to inform Chen Zhi. I don't know how many servants envied him.

He was just thinking about how to flatter me, but Chen Zhi said: "Stop flattering me, we have known each other for a long time, there is no need to say more about these nonsense, I will go see my two uncles first."

When Chen Jue heard these words, they seemed to be reproachful, but they were like the sound of nature, making him feel that his relationship with Young Master Zhi was really special, and that he was suddenly different from the rest of the family.

"This is how you speak to your own servants. If it had been anyone else, Master Zhi would have scolded him like this?"

Thinking of this, Chen Jue immediately led the way happily.

　Thanks to "I don't want nicknames", "Dian lips to make purple blood" and "Master of the Holy Demon Palace" for the rewards!
